Goujian's allusion of "Let's take the courage", I think everyone knows it. In 493 BC, Gou Jian went to Wu to endure humiliation and seek peace due to the shame of Kuaiji, and began a three-year "servant" life. During this period, the people who accompanied Goujian besides his wife, there was one other person, and he was Fan Li. He accompanied Goujian to serve Fucha as a cow and a horse, enduring humiliation, and returned to Vietnam safely three years later.
Fan Li assisted with all his heart and Gou Jian successfully avenged his revenge
After returning to China, in order to temper his willpower, Gou Jian, "Daily" Let yourself firmly remember this shame, and make up your mind to defeat Fu Cha again. Fan Li also tried his best to assist Goujian. Kung fu paid off. In 473 BC, Gou Jian led an army to break the Kingdom of Wu. Wu Wang Fu Cha was forced to slay himself. Gou Jian finally succeeded in revenge, and Fan Li also won the highest honor.
accomplishes his deeds and leaves the field
However, Fan Li, who was supposed to enjoy the glory and wealth, became interested at this time. Quit the ruling and opposition parties. After he left a letter to his old friend, he left.
"Flying birds, good bows; cunning rabbits die, running dogs cooking."-"Historical Records: Yue Wang Goujian Family"
Although Fan Li's move made everyone at the time I couldn't figure it out, but the subsequent fate of the language type indirectly proved Fan Li's correctness. The so-called Gong Gao Zhenzhu is not a joke. The iron facts in history have proved that this is a threat that every generation of power must be on guard. Therefore, soon after Fan Li left, the language was given to death.
Fan Li, who left the country of Yue, has already passed his sixtieth birthday, and is more than sixty years old. How is his life going in his later years? Now, let’s listen to history slowly.
Fan Li began to do business
In fact, Fan Li did not completely fade out of people’s sight after retiring. He first moved to Hangzhou West Lake with his wife Xi Shi Along the way, it moved to Qi State, Song State and other places, and started the business road. He is mainly engaged in fishery and salt industry, using his flexible business acumen, and using the marketing technique of "small profits but quick turnover", he has made a lot of money.
was regarded as the "God of Wealth" by future generations
Not only that, but Fan Li also concluded that while accumulating huge wealth A complete set of business theory. It has had a great impact on both the same generation and future generations. However, even though Fan Li is a businessman, he does not have the characteristics of ordinary businessman "stingy". He insists on "gathering wealth but not guarding". He has scattered his wealth three times to help the poor people. However, because of his outstanding business skills, Soon you can make more money again. Fan Li was therefore regarded as the "God of Wealth" by later generations.
在齐国为相
What is even more surprising is that after Fan Li became famous in Qi State King Qi's attention. The king of Qi invited Fan Li to be the minister of Qi and let him preside over the affairs of Qi. Under Fan Li's management, Qi's national power gradually increased, and the people's life became increasingly prosperous. However, Fan Li only reigned for 3 years, he took the initiative to abdicate and let the virtuous. The reason is:
"The resident official will pay attention to the minister, and the management of the family can bring money; for a self-made commoner, it has reached the extreme. Long-standing reputation is probably not an auspicious sign."
Settled in Song Dynasty, enjoys old age
之Later, Fan Li went to Song State and continued his business road. In the end, Fan Li thought Taoqiu was the most suitable place for business, so he settled down here and enjoyed his old age. In 448 BC, Fan Li passed away at the age of 88.
Objectively evaluate Fan Li's life. He is exceptionally talented and knows how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. For his own development, he promptly withdrew from Chu State and went to Yue State. In Goujian, he fell into a disadvantaged place, and he dared to take responsibility and accompany him. Later, he succeeded and retired, using his ability to succeed in business, and finally ended up in good faith. Looking at it this way, Fan Li's life has been full of twists and turns, but it is perfect. It is enviable. What do you think about this?
